For over four decades, Leonard Cohen has been one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a figure whose body of work achieves greater depths of mystery and meaning as time goes on. His songs have set a virtually unmatched standard in their seriousness and range. Sex, spirituality, religion, power - he has relentlessly examined the largest issues in human lives, always with a full appreciation of how elusive answers can be to the vexing questions he raises. But those questions, and the journey he has traveled in seeking to address them, are the ever-shifting substance of his work, as well as the reasons why his songs never lose their overwhelming emotional force. Documentaries, awards, tribute albums and the ongoing march of artists eager to record his songs all acknowledge the peerless contribution Cohen has made to what one of his titles aptly calls "The Tower of Song." In 2008 Leonard Cohen embarked on his first tour in 15 years. Quickly recognized as musical folklore in the making, 29 of the original dates sold out almost immediately, leaving fans and critics alike hailing the show as a once in a lifetime experience. By popular demand, the Canadian/UK tour was extended and by the end of that year it had reached 84 markets worldwide, selling more than 700,000 tickets. The Live In London release fully captures and recreates the extraordinary show from that tour that earned Cohen more than 80 five-star reviews for his performances.

Great album...get it now!
After seeing the recently broadcast PBS concert special of Leonsrd Cohen, I just had to get this album. It is a two CD pack and it sounds great. You will not be disappointed. My order was with e-store tangotienda and I believe it came from Argentina. Order arrived in two weeks with standard shipping and the total cost was less than $15 which includes all shipping and handling. No jewel case is provided but the package does have some liner notes and photos. It is a live album but the voices of the singers and instruments are very distinct. Get it now! The Phenomenen,Leonard Cohen
It's true...I had never heard of him before...I am not from hare and I guess I must have been sleeping all through the sixties and the seventies as well in little Denmark..
Then I was watching PBS one night, and there he was in his famous concert from London. I was immediately hooked and bought the double CD "Live in London" I am a big fan now...lol...Great CD..I love it...Hugs..Otto nonsense

Very disappointing Leonard Cohen-Live In London
This is some of the best music I have ever heard. By being able to watch the show along with listening, it enhances the great experience. |
